Beggar Woman with Pan is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a woman standing in profile, facing right. She is dressed in a long, dark robe with a lighter-colored collar and a head covering. Her hands are clasped together in front of her, holding a pan with a handle. The woman's facial expression appears somber, and her posture suggests a sense of humility. The woman's attire and the pan she holds suggest that she may be a beggar or someone in need. The overall mood of the image is one of quiet contemplation. This etching is reminiscent of the works of Jacques Callot, a prominent artist of the Baroque movement.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
